A date fot the diary:

RC Group (Holdings) Limited will announce its preliminary results for the 12
months ended 31 December 2005 on Thursday 30 March 2006.

its a geat learning curve going back and reading these kinds of threads from the beginning, the expectation and the actual reality. Not saying its a bad share, but certainly slow getting to the expectation.

Kivver, agree I sold half my holding in frustration and then they recovered to current levels. Still believe the upside is there to be had though in the long term, but perhaps needs greater recognition. I await the prelims with an air of expectancy..............

i think you have knocked the nail on the head there silver and its all about recognition and the market seeing the upside in a share, if the market doesnt recognise it or see it then we're in trouble, no matter how good a share is.

A cracking set of Final Results for 2005, well worth a read. Dr Raymond Chu is certainly delivering, common market wake up to this potential. Growth and Profit both up and stacks of cash in the bank for a company in a potential multi-milllion/billion market and the're ahead of the game.

LONDON (AFX) - Security systems provider RC Group (Holdings) Ltd posted a doubling in full year profits on a huge rise in sales as interest grows in biometrics, a way of identifying people through certain characteristics such as facial structure or sound of the voice.

For the year to Dec 31 2005, the group recorded a pretax profit of 4.8 mln stg from 2.2 mln a year earlier on sales of 15.4 mln stg compared to 3.4 mln last time.

The company also said it has introduced a new product, the Fx9 laptop, which comes equipped with a facial recognition system allowing users to log in and access data without the use of a password.

Initial orders have been placed this year worth about 1.6 mln stg.

Ticking up nicely today and a break out from previous levels :-)

I think RCG have been noticed at last!

Hardly suprising after such stunning results and future potential

Looking very good today, after strong buying yesterday, much better than I expected.

More good news today.
The relatively slow progress of the sp amazes me. However, for those with confidence in their own judgement it makes for a wonderful buying opportunity.
Profit, cash flow, prospective p/e and peg ratio all looking good to brilliant.
I much prefer this to pouring my money into a dubious hole in the ground or a future wonderstock that's still eating mountains of cash and trading on an incalculable p/e.
DYOR, of course - it will bring you to the same conclusion imho.

knute

Too right --- stock is trading on 8x or so this years earnings. That's before the deals of last 2 days. The Sony link seems to support the technology fully and add on acquisitions look to be able to propel sales

I must be missing somthing too !!

Just saw this from HB's Market Comment Broker Round Up:

Insinger de Beaufort reiterates its trading buy rating for Land of Leather (LAN.L) and has a trading buy rating for RC Group (RCG.L).

So RCG has made it onto the City's radar screen! at last :-)

Another recommend, this time from IC:

LONDON (AFX) - Better levels were seen in RC Group, 2 pence firmer at 49-1/2, as the Investors Chronicle advised readers to 'buy'. The shares are only valued at 9 times earnings which, the IC said, is too low for a fast-growing technology company with 7 mln stg in the bank that already pays a dividend.

Kivver,

Happier now? This just shows that if the fundamentals are good, then patience really pays off.... in the end! :-)

Further clarification on collaboration with Intel in China, this could be very big!

RC Group (Holdings) Limited

('RCG' or the 'Group')



Intel Collaboration



RCG, the leading international security solutions provider that specialises in
the development, manufacture and distribution of products and solutions using
biometric and RFID technologies, is pleased to announce that it has entered into
a collaboration with Intel to jointly develop RFID solutions for the health
sector in China.



As mentioned in the chairman's statement issued on 30 March 2006, we have a
growing expertise in delivering RFID solutions for a growing customer base
across a range of industries including logistics, retail and airport. We
recently announced our success in having the opportunity of working on a RFID
project relating to the global logistics industry standards outlined by EPC
Global Inc. In view of the increasing demands of RFID solutions relating to
healthcare, our next move in this area is to target the vast potential of the
Chinese healthcare market. China has over 10,000 sizeable hospitals and a
population of over 1.3 billion.



Working together, RCG and Intel will develop solutions for the emerging digital
health supply chain and logistics industry. It is the expectation of both
parties that in providing world leading RFID solutions they will facilitate the
emergence of a Chinese health sector logistics system based on digital
technology systems. To further promote the uptake of their digital solutions in
China, both parties will also establish a joint marketing program in 2006.



Raymond Chu, CEO, commented:



'Over the past three years we have established ourselves as world leaders in
providing RFID and biometric solutions and products. It is my belief that this
collaboration with Intel and our previously announced collaboration with Sony
are testament to our position in these two markets and demonstrate our depth of
technical excellence in these fields.'
